It is a difficult adjustment for us to get back to work after having 3 days off. The reason is that the sleep schedule has to change each week. We have to sleep regular hours on our days off or we otherwise wouldn't be able to go places and do normal things during regular business hours. Sunday night is the toughest because we have been up all day long and have to go to work for 10 hours beginning at 5 PM. Last night was no exception. Even though we had about 7 hours sleep this morning, we are both still feeling like we didn't get much sleep. We are especially tired after the Sunday night shift and find it hard to believe that the week has just started. The day shift won't come too soon for us.
The whole atmosphere at work during this summer program is very different from the peak season.There aren't many workampers here and we are treated just like the regular employees. It will be a welcome change when the peak season starts as there is very little positive reinforcement for hard work right now. We are used to getting prizes - like gift cards and coins to use in the vending machines - for a job well done each day. There has been none of that this summer and it has been business as usual. Our performance is still at or above 100% of assigned goals, but without the rewards we were used to getting last year - so far. Bring on the other workampers!
It's heating up again - 91 so far at 1 PM - and humid as usual. How do people manage without air conditioning?
Day number 2 this week starts in a few hours, so we will try to get some relaxation before we have to once again leave for the sweatshop. Until tomorrow...
